Change the laws so that what Mac Allister did (and Gabriel in the first half) is clearly considered a dive. You're trying to con the officials to gain an advantage. You should be punished for that.

After today's events, I'm rooting harder than ever for open source to succeed.
I'm also rooting harder than ever for U.S. frontier AI labs to financially collapse into bankruptcy and ruin.
Why? Because the danger to our world isn't AI itself. The real danger is AI being centrally controlled by the kind of scheming, nefarious, dishonest cretins who would engineered an "AI doom op" to try to scare everybody into supporting government controls over AI models.
THOSE PEOPLE are the danger to humanity. And they want monopoly control over all AI technology. Not to save humanity, but to ENSLAVE humanity.
In a future with AI, our only shot at human freedom is through decentralized, open source AI. And that's exactly what these frontier AI labs are now trying to stop.

This whole voluntary AI development slowdown is complete bullshit.
They just can't support their planned capital expenditure burn rate w/o going bankrupt, and they can't IPO because their books are horrific.
So they want to ban open source models and get a taxpayer bailout.

Was thinking this today
Somehow, I have to babysit the ever living sh*t out of frontier AI models to produce non-slop code and UI/UX
Yet also they’re super close to hacking the entire internet while I’m asleep?? And also killing everyone I know?
This. This. This.
Russian kids do more damage on an average Sunday afternoon than this multi trillion dollar advanced AI managed
Just as a reminder because it’s easy to get lost in the rhetoric nowadays. The Hugging Face attack required approximately seven hundred parallel agents running for multiple days each running at least 2-3 trillion parameter unreleased closed models to execute, and even then it was stopped.
Nobody without a data center could have executed it, the token costs alone to execute it would have been safely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars (or tens of millions of dollars to buy and deploy the hardware), and you would have needed access to the strongest secret model in the world hidden in a secret bunker, and it still was detected and stopped for infinitely less cost.
This was not an example of a model being so powerful that it poses an existential risk. This was a lab accidentally throwing an insane amount of tokens at a semi hardened target over multiple days with their most dangerous model and still getting stopped anyway.

How to kill open source models in 3 simple steps:
- Create panic about frontier models.
- Have the biggest AI companies help write the “safety” rules. ← WE’RE HERE
- Make those rules so burdensome that open source can’t compete.
Art of the deal.

Imagine you’re a conman. You’ve said for years you have MAGIC BEANS. You’ve shown lots of REALLY BIG normal beans that you made in your lab.
“Almost there!” you say—over and over.
Now, you have *almost* convinced the villagers to give you TWO TRILLION DOLLARS.
But while the beans keep getting bigger. No magic yet…
What do you do? That money is SO CLOSE.
“I know!” you think, “instead of MAGIC beans, lets’s make them KILLER BEANS.”
So you pump up your beans up SUPER BIG and you say: “I’m sorry, but these BEANS ARE GETTING BIGGER ON THEIR OWN!” You threaten people that if they don’t give you the money, the beans may get into the WRONG HANDS. They might get BIGGER THAN THE EARTH!
The villagers, aghast, run to and fro arguing whether the beans are going to kill everyone or make them all rich.
“Well, either way,” the idiots in the village conclude, “We’d better give him the money.”

I've gone from being one of the biggest Arsenal haters to one of their biggest glazers.
When you're so good that your haters start praising you, you know you're reaching a different gravy of greatness.
Gabriel Magalhães in that Arsenal defence is basically a giant rock placed in front of a door, and you're expecting a regular human being to move it with nothing but his strength.
I said it in my previous post and I didn't stutter:
Gabriel Magalhães is retiring as a top 10 defender of all time.
When a particular player makes you scared, or makes his entire team scary simply because he does his job so ridiculously well, you're entering all-timer territory.
At this point, I don't even care what he's won or achieved in his career.
He's been comfortably the best defender in the world for over a year.
This generational run of form deserves far more credit than it's getting.

Hamas has never carried out an attack outside Palestine and explicitly states in its objectives that all its actions are limited to Palestine. Nevertheless, since October 7, half a dozen Hamas attacks have allegedly been prevented in Germany. Only in Germany. Nowhere else.
Hamas planned coordinated terrorist attacks in Berlin and Vienna to mark the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, according to a 214-page indictment filed by Germany’s federal prosecutor.
